Jamaica, mon!

We received another small shipment of Jamaican last Friday. There are 600# remaining.
Our Jamaican comes from Mavis Bank. A little information is below:

Only coffees grown at elevations between 3,000 and 5,500 feet may be called Jamaica Blue Mountain. Coffee grown at elevations between 1,500 and 3,000 feet is called Jamaica High Mountain, and coffee grown below 1,500 foot elevation is called Jamaica Supreme or Jamaica Low Mountain. (All land in Jamaica above 5,500 feet is a forest preserve, so no coffee is grown there.)

The Munn family started the Mavis Bank company in 1885 at a slightly higher location than it is now, called Strawberry Hill.

This coffee is $20/lb and available in increments of 10#.
